ANN ARBOR – We’re bringing a wide range of information to Ann Arbor, drawing from the best Michigan (and beyond) has to offer ? making the IT Zone a hub of networking and learning. We were pleased to have guest presenters from Grand Rapids, Chicago, Midland, Birmingham ? and locals returning from Rwanda.
In the past month, we saw and heard from some amazing presenters at the IT Zone. Our audiences heard about the challenges of bioinformatics, the William Davidson Institute?s development project in Rwanda, advances being funded through Dow Venture Capital, opportunities for grant funding through SBIR and other programs — and how a Jeep can climb a high-rise building.
Our guests included:
Abby Corso, associate director, Delta Institute, Chicago
Dr. Jerry Callahan, president, XB TransMed; director of business development, VanAndel Institute
Robert Kennedy, executive director, William Davidson Institute, University of Michigan
James H. Plonka, vice president, Corporate Venture Capital, The Dow Chemical Company
Larry Parrotte, founder/chief creative officer, Clear!Blue
All that, on top of our usual fare of tech business-building programs including, Tales from the Trenches; Selling Smart sales training, Search Engine Optimization discussion group, Intellectual Property Strategy breakfast and CEO Revenue Growth lunch ? and, of course, Boot Camp. The list goes on and on.
So next time you see an e-mail from the IT Zone, take a look ? we?re bringing you the contacts and information you need.
